My 17-month-old baby seems constipated. It's been 24 hours since he last had a bowel movement... we can see that he is in pain when he strains. What should I do?

If your 17-month-old baby seems constipated, there are a few things you can try. You can purchase a product containing PEG3350 at the pharmacy, like Lax A Day or Relaxa™. If you can't get it tonight, you can also try giving them prune juice. It's important to also try to figure out why the constipation is happening and try to prevent it in the future. If it happens regularly, you may need to give them PEG3350 daily for a few weeks until their bowel movements become regular again.
